Tea & Sushi pairings
When two Japanese specialities meet, the result is a taste sensation. Drinking tea alongside sushi is a tradition that is skilfully maintained by the best Japanese chefs, who love to refine pairings which highlight the taste of every fish.
Pairings
Sushi
If you have decided to prepare sushi, you should adapt each tea to the fish you have chosen. For salmon or tuna sushi, go for a Bancha Hojicha. This roasted, thirst-quenching Japanese green tea has a woody aroma and is low in caffeine. If you are making sushi with sea bream, your best option is a Sencha such as the Sencha Ariake, which is both gentle and fills the mouth well, overcoming an umami taste.
Finally, mackerel sushi should be paired with a Genmaicha Yama! This surprising blend of Bencha green tea and toasted rice with fresh and roasted notes perfectly complements the strong flavours of mackerel.
